When I first started traveling through Latin America in my 20s I stayed at places that cost $3/night. Many times I was too scared to go to sleep without the lights on or sleep under the covers. I am grateful for those time of “adventure”, but I am also grateful that I am no longer in my 20s and have stepped up my travel game. This hotel is so amazingly beautiful!! . . . . . . . . #PuntaDeMita #WPuntaDeMita #Sayulita #WHotels #LuxuryHotels #Mexico #TravelMexico #PuertaVallarta #Beach #RoamThePlanet #MexicanVacation #VivaMexico #MexicoTravel #SeeMexico #Mexico_Amazing #TravelPhotographer #TravelWriter #IG_Mexico #BeautifulDestinations
Polo is a sport not commonly associated with Mexico, but it was the country’s first Olympic Metal.

Like many Mexican towns Sayulita is celebrating El Día de Guadalupe, the date when Mary appeared to Juan Diego, a Mexican peasant. According to the story of the Lady of Guadalupe, Mary spoke in the Nahuatl language when she appeared to Diego. It is said that millions of indigenous people in Mexico were converted to Catholicism as a result of her appearance and miracle. . . . . . . . . #PuntaDeMita #WPuntaDeMita #Sayulita #Mexico #TravelMexico #PuertaVallarta #Beach #MexicanVacation #VivaMexico #MexicoTravel #SeeMexico #Mexico_Amazing #TravelPhotographer #TravelWriter #IG_Mexico #BeautifulDestinations Cur fish Marinate with lime juice Onions Centro Tomatoes None of it is real. It is all about the picture. The pictures aren’t even real, the filters alway enhance the colors, cropping out what is not wanted. Soulless and dead.

Any Austinite who has lived in the city for more than ten years is quick to point out the negative impacts of recent growth. The traffic, the loss of live music venues, high-rises on every corner. But one positive we can all agree on is the blossoming of Austin’s food scene. What was once a town scraping by on cheap BBQ, Tex-Mex and burger joints now has a diverse food culture on par with some of the great foodie cities. Today diners can head downtown to fancy restaurants that transform the simplest of dishes into the most luxurious experience (have you seen the size of the biscuits at Fixe). Or head to North Austin to choose from the abundance of restaurants that combine kid-friendly atmospheres with gluten-free menus. But for the diners looking for the trendiest restaurants, East Austin with its farm-to-table meals in corrugated steel Silos that look like they could have been tool factories in the not-so-distant-past is the place to be.

Today I am proud of Texas and America. No, the big races did not go the way I wanted and Beto’s lose was heartbreaking BUT the fact that Beto did not take one dime from corporations and still came within three points of this heavily red state is something that we should all be proud of. It shows that Texans will show up for grassroots candidates, can be motivated by what makes us great, not what we should be afraid of. It shows a side of Texas that I have always known was there, but is so often overshadowed by bathroom bills and oil money. The fact 8 million voters came to the polls in a state with such low voter turnout is heartening. Politicians on either side need to know we are watching them and we do vote. As for the country, we voted in more than 100 women, we voted in our first Muslims women to Congress, the first Native American woman to Congress, Texas is sending its first two Latina women to Congress. Our representatives are FINALLY starting to look the people the represent and once this happens it won’t go backward. Don’t be discouraged y’all. Our country is not something we win or lose in a one-night election. It is something we show up for every single day. Take all that energy and passion you used knocking on people’s doors, getting to know the candidates and taking selfies with the “I Voted” sticker and use that to improve your community. Let’s make Beto proud of us by building a Texas so strong, political leaders will no longer be able to wield fear for political purposes. This does not just mean embracing immigrants or those seeking asylum, but also trying to reach out and understand your Trump-loving neighbors and family members. We are all in this together, let’s act that way. Thank you Beto for making Texas proud again!!!!! #GoBetoGo #Texas #BetoForSenate #America #MidTerms #BetoForTexas #Beto #RyanBingham
There is a saying, “As goes Texas, so goes America.” As in America, Texas is made up of my favorite ballsy, innovative, talented, boisterous, compassionate, warm-hearted loud-mouths to walk the planet. And as with America, we are governed by some of the most fear-mongering, lying, power-hungry a-holes around. It would take a damn miracle for @betoorourke, a Democrat, to win a statewide election here. I don’t know if he will, but what I do know is that he has changed the shape of Texas - and hopefully America’s - politics from here on out. Now we KNOW that politicians do not have to tie themselves to corporate money, that they can reach out to both sides of the aisle to make a conscious effort to represent all of his/her constituents, and that they can preach about our possibilities and potential, not lecture on why we should fear one another. Thank you, Beto for showing us that there is another way. A better way. Thank you for representing the best in Texas politics. You have made me a very proud voter and I look forward to the day you are my senator. #IBelieveInMiracles #GoBetoGo #Vote #MidTerms #Texas #LoneStar #BetoForTexas #BetoForSenate #ElectionDay
